Logo Contest 2023
The Tumbleweed Music Festival is seeking artwork/graphic designs to use in promotional materials for the upcoming 2023 festival, which will be held Labor Day weekend (September 1st, 2nd, and 3rd) at Howard Amon Park in Richland, WA. If chosen, you will see your artwork or graphics on the internet, posters, T-shirts, buttons, fliers, and in print advertisements!
The theme for next year’s festival is “Good Times!” The theme has been inspired by the wonderful time that we all had at the live Tumbleweed festival in 2022. The logo should reflect the essence of the theme. Artwork will be judged on design quality, color, originality, ease of use on multiple graphic forms (T-shirts, posters, advertising), and how well it embodies the theme.
